 |
Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

Helpful Hints:
|
Put the taco seasoning in a clean plastic bag, add the pork cubes and kids can shake it up.
Letting the pork simmer in the sauce helps tenderize the meat and allows flavors to blend. Serve over rice or couscous prepared while the meat is simmering. Add a green vegetable for lots of color.
 |
Safety Tip:
|
Use a sharp knife and cutting board to trim excess fat from the pork and dice into small cubes. Kids need adult supervision for this step. To avoid cross-contamination, use a clean cutting board and knife to prepare fresh vegetables to add to the meal.
